Hello,
Our cat Luigi has started pooing on our carpet, right next to the litter tray.
We change the litter regularly, and clean it out, and I can tell that one or both of our cats does use the tray, and we can see footprints, and you can tell that the wood litter has been weed on occasionally.
But this past couple of weeks, Luigi has pooed next to the tray. I can't understand why he does it. Most of the time, he goes outside and goes to the toilet in the garden (our other cat, Max, always does this).
But bearing in mind Luigi has used the tray no problems before, I just can't get my head round why he would go next to it!
We have some plastic sheeting (thin, like clingfilm), near the tray, and he has 'pawed' at that after going to the toilet - maybe he thinks that the sheeting is 'part' of the litter tray?
It's really not nice to come home to this. Perhaps we should get rid of the tray and the sheeting, so that Luigi (in time) doesn't associate that part of our lounge with going to the toilet??
Any advice much appreciated.
